Christmas came a little late to Nicki’s Latin Barb—four days late, to be precise—but when it finally arrived, it was no doubt the best one ever.

That’s because Nicki Minaj herself called in to congratulate the host of Pink Friday Radio, and her co-host, Luscious Barb, on doing a bang-up job on the fan front.

Nicki: The secret's out—this diva's a big fan of her BlogTalkRadio fan show.

It all started Wednesday night, as Latin Barb and Luscious Barb (so named as Team Minaj fans, who are known as Barbies), kicked off their 90-minute special during which fellow Nicki fans were asked to call in with their Top 3 Most Memorable Nicki Minaj Moments of 2010.

Then, with on only seven minutes left in the show, the red-hot hip-hop star dialed in and said, “Hey, you guys. Wassup, y’all?”

To which an astonished Latin Barb replied, “Oh my God! What a surprise! I’m gonna cry.”
